Colorless Thought: Yin Haiguang and Liberalism (National Taiwan University 90th Anniversary Edition)

Yin Hai-Kuang and Liberalism: An Introductory Reader

Yin Haiguang has long been recognized as a model of Taiwan's liberal intellectuals. Dedicated to carrying forward and promoting the ideological and cultural legacy of the May Fourth Movement, he dedicated his pen to advocating for the practical application of democracy and freedom. His persistent criticism of the ignorance and oppression perpetuated by the authoritarian party-state has not only stirred hearts but also inspired reflection.

This book focuses on Yin Haiguang's intellectual concerns regarding the interpretation of liberal ideals. Focusing on original works that remain relevant and stimulating, it compiles fifteen of his most essential works into a single volume. Editor Pan Guangzhe has designed two sections for each selected article: "Explanation" and "Further Reading." The former summarizes the main themes of each article and explains its historical or ideological context, hoping to help readers grasp the key points and background of Yin Haiguang's arguments. The latter cites Yin Haiguang's original works and research findings on related topics, allowing readers to follow their lead and conduct further research. The book also includes relevant illustrations, enriching the reader's interest through a combination of text and images. For readers who "come into contact" and "read" Yin Haiguang for the first time, this book should be the first window to open Yin Haiguang's world of thought.
